Dr Dave is a completely down to earth, well rounded and knowledgeable physician. He was able to do for me, in one session, what would have taken your standard line of physicians multiple visits over extended periods of time.
He also taught me some techniques to use in the interim so I can learn my own body mechanics, and know my own methods of relieving pain and discomfort from my workout sorenesses.
Thank you So much Dr Dave! I wish every major city had one of you!
I have been having back pain for way too long. Turns out, David knew exactly what my issue was and within two visits I was pretty much recovered. Wish I would have been referred to him first.
I've been seeing Dave off and on for about 18 months for various Crossfit and weightlifting related knee, shoulder, and hip issues. He's so helpful. Not only is he extremely responsive and attentive, but he aims to give you the knowledge and tools required to treat your own symptoms. He guides you through your treatments and then follows up with easy-to-understand videos for reference when you've forgotten what you're supposed to do at home. With his help I've been able to work through a lot of muscle tightness and some strains, all while maintaining a daily crossfit regimen. Check him out!
I had L4 and L5 fused in my back in April of 2020. After some hospital therapy, in-home therapy and then on-site therapy, I could still only stand or walk for about 20 minutes. This continued with no improvement.
A friend of mine tried to convince me to go to Dr. David Bass, an acupressure therapist, for over two months but I was concerned that he would apply pressure around the surgical area and possibly cause damage.
Five months passed with no progress so I decided to ask Dr. Bass for help. After my first visit, I was able to walk and stand for 35 to 40 minutes. The pressure points he used were never near the surgery.
During my third visit, my back and walking were much better than I could imagine so I asked him if he could help with my left knee "giving out" sometimes when I walked. My orthopedist assured me nothing was wrong.
Dr. Bass found muscles that were in my thigh but attached to my knee that were causing the pain and weakness. We did therapy in the office and at home and I no longer need to wear a knee brace.
I am very pleased with Dr. Bass and how much he has helped me. I just wish I would have been smart enough to take my friends advice earlier. She was a previous patient of DR. Bass.
Dr. Bass is AMAZING. He has so much insight and I think he can literally read my mind on what hurts/helps without me saying anything.
He takes so much time and care with each appointment. Dave really listens, and is great at explaining his approaches. I now have many tools in my tool box to help me help myself to relieve pain. His communication during and after the visit is incredible.
I have been to a handful of other PT’s in Richmond and none compare to Dr. Bass; I wish I had found him sooner!
Thanks Dave!!!
